    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, West Pokot County and nearby counties like Turkana suffer from acute food shortage, which is mainly a factor of lack of production or access to food. It is shameful that Uganda is now feeding the Turkanas and Pokots. Uganda has efficient food distribution programmes. Livestock in Uganda get enough water but we do not have enough water in our counties. We cannot cope because of the small portions we get from relief agencies with poor logistics. Since the Government cannot even hire vehicles to distribute the food, it means there is a poor food distribution programme in our counties. My question is; what is the Government doing, considering that the county governments have failed, that is, Turkana and West Pokot, to enable the people cope with the current food crisis? How many people are on the verge of starvation in those areas? Meteorologists have informed us that Turkana is now 43 degrees Celsius and people are running to Uganda and other places. How much is the Government going to spend to ensure there is enough food in Turkana and West Pokot? Currently, for the case of West Pokot, how much food has so far reached the people?"
